Newsome was headed to New York to see Kay-Lea's father who spoke with Action News Jax reporter Russell Colburn, who said that he spoke with Newsome while she drove and she acted like everything was fine.

“If it hadn’t been for an older couple from New York City who observed the child being removed from the vehicle, we probably would have just thought it was a minor motor vehicle accident with a driver and nobody else,” State Police Sgt. Fred Barlow said.

The newspaper says Trooper D.R. Dillon recorded a statement from Newsome, in which Newsome said she picked up her daughter, Kaye-lea Plummer, from her bed on Friday and put the little girl in her truck.

According to the newspaper, Newsome also told Dillon Kaye-lea did not move, eat, drink, speak, or use the bathroom for two days.

There is no confirmation on a cause of death, but foul play is suspected. More arrests could be forthcoming in Florida, police said.

“She knew she had vehicle issues and didn’t want to be driving at interstate speeds,” Barlow said. “She decided to stay off major highways and that’s how she wound up in Thornwood.”

Newsome was arrested and charged with concealment of a dead human being.

Action News Jax reporter Beth Rousseau is at the Jacksonville home and has reached out to JSO and is working to learn what evidence was found at the home.
